The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) has written to Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan calling upon the Government of Pakistan and its Law Enforcement Agencies to ensure the conduct of an impartial and thorough investigation into the murder of Priyantha Kumara Diyawadana.

The BASL urges the Pakistan Prime Minister to enforce the law in its fullest complement against all those who may be responsible for this heinous crime and to protect the rights of the aggrieved party.

The BASL, the apex body representing over 21,000 Attorneys-at-law in Sri Lanka stated that it will closely monitor the progress of the investigation to its conclusion. The BASL further said it has reached out and sought the assistance of the Pakistan Bar in this respect.

Meanwhile, the BASL has appreciated the Prime Minister of Pakistan for immediately and strongly denouncing the murder of Sri Lankan national in broad daylight in Sialkot, Pakistan. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

Why beat around the bush. Get the government to summon the Pakistan Ambassador to the Foreign Office and log a complain. Ask to an impartial investigation possibly by an international panel.

How about similar request to Sri Lankan Government on thousands of people of minorities killed by racists over the last 65 years from 1956 while they are requesting for only one We can clear our shameful records

Even any logically thinking may can see how the cops are trying to twist the incident as an impulsive, irritable incident happened . It appears to be a well instigated occurrence.

Hello, BASL. The PM of Pakistan, Imran Khan is doing all within his power bestowed on him by the people of his Country, so save your stupid comments made for the sake of saying something. It does not carry any weight.

"Meanwhile, the BASL has appreciated the Prime Minister of Pakistan for immediately and strongly denouncing the murder of Sri Lankan national in broad daylight in Sialkot, Pakistan" WHAT WAS BASL DOING IN DEC 2019 WHEN PAKISTANI NATIONAL WAS KILLED IN NEGAMBO.
